Running on Revit
Utilizing our new software tool, AutoDesk Revit Architecture, we have created preliminary design concepts for remodeling the Amtrak Station in Salinas to add Greyhound Bus service. Using blueprints from 1941 and measurements taken from the existing structures, we created a virtual model of the historic train station and then outlined potential designs for the new occupant. Much of the original building will be restored and reused to create this inter-modal station. We are learning to utilize this new software to create both traditional 2D plans as well as dynamic 3D models with ease. Its features allow easy changes to the model that automatically synchronize to all applicable 2D drawing sheets such as floor plans, elevations, and details. Eventually our design process should benefit greatly from the time saved in modifying each sheet individually.
